Paradise
Where is paradise?Ā
Certainly aināt hereĀ
People standing outside LidlĀ
Sippinā own brand beerĀ
Where is paradise?
Iām dying to goĀ
Itās always raining hereĀ
And if it donāt, itāll snowĀ
What is paradise?Ā
Is it a place or a feeling?Ā
I bet it feels better than staring at the ceilingĀ
What is paradise?Ā
2 weeks annual leaveĀ
Thereās too much pollution hereĀ
I canāt fucking breatheĀ
Paradise isnāt tiredĀ
Depressing and sadĀ
Local gammy pigeon and a flying plastic bag
Constant wars and fighting, media ignite fearĀ
If I were to be in paradise, I wouldnāt shed a tearĀ
Thereād be sand on my feet and Iād go on long hikesĀ
Thereād be no city centres funding anti homeless spikesĀ
The sunset would mesmerise me and the waves would be astoundingĀ
Wouldnāt be watching BBC to see who Hancock gave a poundingĀ
The world would be fed, children wouldnāt know hungerĀ
Theyād be free to play, hope and wonderĀ
Designer logos wouldnāt matter
We could dress like the mad hatter
You wouldnāt only be important if your wallet is fatterĀ
Everyoneās going off grid
I reckon I will soonĀ
And if I donāt end up doing that
Iām gonna fly to the moon

Really feel the 'pissedoffness' in this Amber. Paradise on earth will never happen untill we stop electing narcissists and sociopaths to power...but you can find it sometimes in ...'pissedness' itself šššš
I feel the frustration towards this bitter reality we endure. Going off grid seems the only chance to feel some sort of freedom. But we also must ensure this planet is cared for. Right now it is being abused, the future of its wellbeing are a gloomy one. We must tend to the wounds we have given this beautiful earth. Thanks for the food for thought. We can only hope we wake up as a planet soonĀ

I enjoyed reading this, it made me smile and frown and enjoyed the imagery and rhyme and the message one of my favourite lines was "Designer logos wouldnāt matter We could dress like the mad hatter"
